So on a component level in terms of the cooling elements: the $3,000 and the $300 are essentially the same to a consumer? Is there no market for a refrigerator produced with high-quality components? or does higher-quality component price ou

I think the budget options available now didn't exist in the past either; components are cheap now — you may be able to get a fridge for $300 that lasts 5 years, but 50 years ago your only option might be paying the equivilant of $2k f

Redundancy and specificity are slippery slopes. Why not say "Normally $XXX roundtrip coach redeye" because someone might think you're comparing a coach fare to first-class prices? I think the "$XXX roundtrip, normally $X

Exactly. I listen to music on Spotify, but if I really like a musician/album I'll buy it on vinyl to give them more money, have a nice piece of artwork, and also have something to give to my kid someday (I have albums my mom liste

They also own .sucks... of which they were charging $2500 per domain. I don't know why these manipulative TLDs are allowable without considerable regulation. This latest example seems to be more directly extortion, and is likely illega

I'm sure some exec on zillow's marketing team thinks that someone making fun of some houses will hurt their business. Everyone working for this exec thought they were stupid for pursuing it, but they don't want to lose their

I just craigslist it all. I've never actually paid for a couch — and I find really nice couches, they're not like stained bed-bug ridden things. People just want to get rid of them.

That's my point though. Talking dollar amounts isn't the end goal. The end goal is what you can get for the money.

I think it depends. Is $1 enough to grant you housing, food, healthcare, and free time to see your family?

Sure, if you want to ban drinking in the workplace I can understand (but don't agree) — it can be a liability. There will be always be a slight risk there, and it's hard to trust everyone in a larger sized company. If my employer

Yeah, fair. People need help now. But how long can we continue kicking this problem down the road. We need to tie this thing to inflation or just admit that it's not the solution.
